Indulge in the sweet and buttery delight of our Caramel Popcorn recipe. This classic treat is perfect for movie nights, parties, or satisfying your sweet cravings. Made with freshly popped popcorn, a rich caramel sauce, and a pinch of salt, it offers the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch in every bite.
Melt the butter and add the sugar and water.
Stir over moderate heat until dissolved, then bring to the boil. Cover with a lid, cook for about 3 minutes, or until the steam has washed the sugar crystals down from the sides of the pot.
Boil until soft ball stage has been reached (when a little syrup is dropped into iced water it forms a ball which flattens of its own accord when picked up with the fingers. About 25 - 30 minutes).
Remove from heat and pour over popcorn, stirring gently to coat completely.
When cool enough to handle, mold into balls or lollipops, and insert a small stick, if desired.
